Apartment Costs

Killeen is a pretty inexpensive place to live, and is one of the more affordable cities in the region. There are many one- and two-bedroom apartments for less than $500/month. Even three-bedrooms average around just $800/month. Since CTC accepts all applicants, they don’t provide housing except for about 1-2%. Considering the inexpensive living arrangement possibilities, this isn’t a bad gig! Choosing roommates will decrease your monthly rent even more, and you could be looking at just $250/month.

Local Events

There are many big festivals in the Bell County region. Each April, “Celebrate Killeen” occurs with food, live music, tournaments, a car show, a fun run, and more, drawing around 8,000 visitors. Around 1,000 people attend the Caribbean Afr’am Festival each year, which celebrates various African cultures with music, dance, cuisine, and a marketplace. Fifteen minutes down the street, in Copperas Cove, is the annual Rabbit Fest which brings in over 20,000 people with vendors, arts and crafts, live music, a carnival and more. About 20 minutes in the other direction, Belton hosts the Festival on Nolan Creek, drawing over 30,000 guests, with food, animals, contests, arts and crafts, and a big patriotic parade. The Festival on Nolan Creek was voted to the Top 10 US Parades by USA Today. In Salado, Texas, a half hour from Killeen, the annual Texas Wine & Rogue Art Festival takes place, with about 2,000 attendees.
